Manuscripts and Authorized Printings:

Text-01 — “Eleonora” — 1841, no original manuscript or fragments are known to exist
(but this version is presumably recorded in Text-02)

Text-02 — “Eleonora” — about September 1841 —
The Gift for 1842 — (Mabbott text A) (Gift annuals were usually available early in the Fall of the year prior to
the year in the full title, to take advantage of the lucrative holiday market. A minor review of The Gift for 1842, including
the reprint of a full poem called “Glimpses of Heaven” by Mary Ann Browne, appeared as early as September 4, 1841 in the
Boston Post)

Text-03 — “Eleonora” — 1842 — TGAPP (manuscript of title only) —
(The tale is listed in Poe’s handwritten table of contents, but the text itself no longer survives. It was probably a modified
version of the printed text from The Gift, and is presumably recorded, with perhaps a few additional changes made in proof,
in Text-04)
